suppose 2 men at cards wager all upon the turn of a card

whereby this man dies and another man chooses death

from a stack of metaphysical conflicts like a kaleidescope encircles then

splays out to confuse even the most adroit croupier

then that play is God, a divination

a choice between evil and its twin

a doublet of fate

he who chooses must answer a simple question

in the battle between good and evil who prevails ?

God he replies of course

yet which man turned the card ?

players move statues

about a chess board

The King is frozen

then the King is dead

yet which man turned the card ?
